Article Abstract:
Bodies concerned with awarding UK National Lottery funds to visitor projects should ensure that their main priority in assessment is the commercial viability of projects. If they do not do this many of the costly projects will fail. The grant-awarding bodies have tended to burden the projects with academic requirements, and to prioritize short-term issues, including design. They should, instead, be concentrating on the fact that the project will have to compete with all other aspects of the leisure industry to attract new and return visitors every day for the long-term future.

It's a lottery!
Article Abstract:
The National Lottery bodies responsible for the distribution of funds designated for 'Good Causes' have received a surprisingly low number of grant applications, possibly because the system is mistrusted or because potential subscribers are unsure of their eligibility. Applicants should firstly consider what they want to ask for, with the Good Causes body then considering if it is what others want before the distributing body considers if the lottery will fund it. The ways in which grants should be applied for and distributed are described.

Lottery odds stacked against children
Article Abstract:
Children's activities and charities are not receiving as much money as adult causes from the National Lottery in the United Kingdom. The National Lottery grants system continually overlooks children's leisure and art requirements. Only 4.9% of the 1.268 billion pounds sterling spent on arts/leisure/sport was spent on play, when many consider the percentage should be as high as 20%.
